About this manual

This document provides installation and maintenance instructions for System Sensor’s 2-wire and 4-wire photoelectric smoke detectors. It includes details on detector features, wiring, mounting, and LED status indicators. The detectors are designed for open area protection and must be used with compatible UL-listed control panels. Regular maintenance and cleaning are required to ensure proper function, with annual cleaning recommended.

The detectors feature advanced optical sensing chambers and microprocessors that automatically reset sensitivity after contamination. Models 2WT-B and 4WT-B include built-in thermal sensors and freeze detection. Installation is simplified with pre-wired mounting bases compatible with drywall fasteners. LED indicators show status: green for normal, red for maintenance or alarm, and blinking patterns during power-up.

Frequently asked questions

What is the operating temperature range for these detectors?

2W-B and 4W-B models operate from 32 to 120°F (0 to 49°C); 2WT-B and 4WT-B models operate from 32 to 100°F (0 to 37.8°C).

How often should these detectors be cleaned?

Cleaning should be performed annually, as required by NFPA 72.

What does the red LED indicate when the detector is in alarm mode?

The red LED latches on solid when the detector is in alarm mode.

Can the sensing chamber be opened during operation?

No, the chamber must never be opened while power is applied to prevent automatic sensitivity reset.
